Howdy Tex.
Many people have problems with the Seagate FreeAgent series of external
HDs.
A number of cheap external HDs like Seagate FreeAgent and Western
Digital HDs have problems. If you computer doesn't dismount the
Seagate before shutting down then something is clearly wrong.
My Mac has 4 internal HDs, 3 external (2 on eSATA and 1 on FW800), and
a NAS drive and shutdown happens in about 50 seconds normally.
You should be sure that the Seagate external HD is formatted for
Macintosh as Mac OS Extended and with the GUID Partition Table.
If it is not formatted with these two protocols, try reformatting it.
You will need to use the Partition tab, and in Partition Layout popup
menu, change "Current" to "1 Partition." Then click the Options…
button and the GUID table item. Then click Apply button. The reformat
should take about 20 seconds but obviously backup of data to a
different drive would take some time.
Some of the Seagate and Western Digital externals also have a peculiar
and difficult to cope with energy/saver feature built into the
circuitry of the drive case. This spins down the drive after a period
of time and I've seen some cases where this can cause problems
including with a shut down.
You can try to make sure that the drive is spun up before doing the
shut down. Might help.
However, I'd get rid of the Seagate ASAP. A lot of Mac folks here have
found good quality external drive cases at OWC.
Good luck.

I know others who have worked with 8 drive edit chains comfortably. It's all relative. Consider something as simple as drive power failure. This is pretty low risk. But is it still low risk multiplied by 8 drives in the chain? One bad drive often takes the entire chain with it. My peers are risk averse. Is the risk of more than 4 drives really significantly greater? That's impossible to answer. I've never seen anything better than anecdotal evidence.
When I talk about reduction in performance, here's a specific example (all FW800 on internal buss):
Drive Read Write (MB/s)
EHD 109 solo G-Raid2, 1TB 68.6 82
EHD 109 as second drive 69.1 79.3
EHD 109 as third drive 30.6 61.5
Note the drop in write speed from single to triple. For my work, 30MBps is unacceptable. A casual user might not care. That's still faster than USB (about 28MBps on current Macs).
Cheers,
tod

I use two applications for throughput testing, both made specifically for editors:
AJA System Test (prefer this one)
http://www.aja.com/products/ software/
Blackmagic Disk Speed Test
http://www.macupdate.com/app/ mac/38019/ blackmagic- disk-speed- test
Many utility suites have more comprehensive testing. Sustained throughput is most important to editors, but not the most for servers or system drives.

Tanya,
Reading ahead, Tod mentions a couple of good disk benchmarking programs.
There are quite a few to choose from. Search on Google and you'll find

Based on experience, and that of others, I recommend not daisy-
chaining more than two hard drives together in one Firewire chain.
Also, even though Firewire is hot plug-able, I highly recommend not
doing so with a hard drive, at least not without dismounting the
drive first. You never know when your computer might decide to write
something to the hard drive. If you disconnect a hard drive during a
write, you are likely to have problems.

Formatting phone numbers in Address Book / Contacts
Posted by: "Roger Harris" skunktown@gmail.com robo_booger
Wed Feb 15, 2012 12:19 pm (PST)
Is there a way to retroactively go back and re-format all the phone numbers in Address Book?
I have gone to Address Book/Preferences/Phone and selected "Automatically Format Phone Numbers", but that does not re-format existing phone numbers. Specifically I would like to get them all into the international format: +1 xxx-xxx-xxxx.
And then if I am successful at that, it should translate into my Contacts on the phone and iPad, no?
TIA, Roger

Not sure why it isn't working for you. If you did below it will reformat existing numbers. Note it won't add a 1 or +1 if it wasn't there already.

Interesting stuff from Tod and Dan. I have no intention of using BD for
backups but it's good to know that it is now affordable (for single layer
anyway).
BTW I assumed the capacity differences Dan describes are due to the usual
decimal-to-binary "Gigabyte" conversion. For 25 GB I get 23.3 GiB and for
50 GB I get 46.6 GiB.

Install the program
Run the program and it automatically displays all the network ip devices running including the AirSight Camera. The AirSight will be listed as �unidentified hidden device�.
Copy down the AirSight`s IP address, then open Safari. Type in the IP address and hit Enter

Instead of using the Enter key, try clicking on the little semi-circular "reload" arrow at the right end of the address field, after you have typed in just the numerical address. That should keep anything extra from being added.

A numeric IP address normally looks like
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
or https:// ... for a secure connection.
The http(s) means the device is running a web server. Is this correct?

You entered something like:
http://192.168.1.1/
(slashes and all)
Correct?

No, I deleted the http:// and put in the numbers and periods only. But the http:// comes back no matter what I have tried.

Digital radio

Hi all
I want to connect a digital radio to my wifi network but I'm at a loss here.
I've got a Macbook Pro and use 10.7.3.
I fired up the Airport utility but I cannot figure out how to add on
another device.
Can somebody help me here?
Thanks
BillW

Hi Bill,
I think you need to tell us what sort of digital radio it is. Do you mean a
DAB receiver or something else? Is it supposed to connect to a network?

Generally speaking, what do you all mean by arrays?
Just wondering.

Oh, and regarding arrays or whatever solution you suggest, what is practical for an iMac desktop?
I have the "best" iMac desktop you could get in 2009, with maximum memory (16 GB) and processor (2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7).
But I'm really not in the Mac Pro category. The machine is just used for mail, internet, word processing, a little bit of iPhoto and iMove, but not much more.
Thanks again,
Brett
